Not long after word got out that Sports Illustrated will feature a plus-size model in their 2015 swimsuit issue (feb 9th), more exciting news came, they will also be featuring plus-size models in their editorial pages.
It was announced yesterday that size 12 Robyn Lawley will be a Sports Illustrated 2015 Rookie, along with five other models.
But, is this really the first time to feature a curvier model in their magazine – Kate Upton, who has been on the cover no less than three times, is a size 10. And, can we really call these ladies plus-size?
These days if you’re over size 8 (UK) you are considered plus-size, should the term plus-size be dropped?
What do you think of the plus-size model’s placement in the magazine? And the term plus-size. I would love to hear your thoughts on this.
